Iris reticulata 'Katharine Hodgkin' flowering in my sister back garden.
I did not sleep right well last night, maybe it was worrying about whats going to happen with the treatment with the chemotherapy later in the week and the putting in the PICC Lines tomorrow but my emotions did get better of me I had cry before read kindle off  and on until eventually drop off sleep and did have to put alarm clock on. Has it was weekly visit the District Nurses in Carnforth to get the small wound on my redress and check over. They did put some of concerns about the PICC Lines to rest and still not looking forward to it happening.

After the visit to the District Nurses, we stop off at my sister's for coffee and to pick up Shaun and Christoper.

There was some Snowdrops in full bloom in my sister back garden but  I star of the show were the Iris reticulata 'Katharine Hodgkin' in flower and also worth looking at Iris reticulata 'Katharine's Gold'. The bulbs retail on web for £9.99 for 15 bulbs if want both varieties £14.99 for 15 bulbs of each variety but have wait to end of August for them to dispatch. If you lucky, you may flowering in pots at this time of the year at local garden centre.

I think both varieties are on my shopping list for plants that like to growing in my back garden.

Once we got home, Shaun fill up back of Shaun and Fran's car with stuff that was going to the dip, Christoper  check out my library of books and Fran did abit of cleaning.

After the car was fill up, the Drummonds headed back home via the dip.

I had walk down to the village shop to buy few things and may have another on line Tesco shop before start treatment on Thursday.

After bit lunch and watching what's going on in the world on the BBC's news Channel and found out why share prices had fallen, this due to worries about Mr Trump's Tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China and effects on world trade. This  buying  opportune for anyone wanting to invest in the stock market but for rest of us the stock market will back up again in few days time once the politicians have finish playing international poker.

Well tomorrow is another day and come up with another photo that I taken and tell you about my visit to the hospital and maybe get someone to take photo of the PICC Lines.
